The Laundy Story

Four generations, countless beers poured, and a legacy built on good old-fashioned hospitality, that's the Laundy way. We kicked things off in 1945 with the Sackville Hotel in Rozelle and never looked back. Through grit, heart, and a knack for turning pubs into community icons, we've grown into one of NSW's most recognisable hospitality families. Today we have a diverse portfolio of 40+ venues that stretch from your trusty local, to boutique hotels and buzzy beachfront playgrounds. The heart of Laundy beats the same everywhere: Think Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel, the Woolwich Pier, the Marsden Brewhouse, and beyond, where people gather, celebrate, commiserate, and everything in between. From schooners at the local to spritzes by the sea, we've built a reputation for blending tradition with just the right splash of spunk.

We vibe best with people who are:

Accountable – You own your projects, solve challenges and deliver with style.

Curious – You’re always asking “what if” and exploring ways to make every event unforgettable.

Collaborative – Because the best events are never a solo act.

Driven – You thrive under pressure and bring your A-game without losing your smile.

We're all about people:

At Laundy Hotel Group, we know great hospitality starts with diverse voices and experiences. We're proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer, and we actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, identities, cultures, and abilities — including First Nations peoples, people with disability, and those from the LGBTQIA+ community. If you require any adjustments to the recruitment process, our HR team would be happy to have a confidential chat to make sure you're comfortable and supported every step of the way.
